The Journey and The Outlook

Follow Your Dreams and Passion I started my formal art education / creative journey in 1970 at Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology in Toronto. The class size and creative environment was very similar to the Visual Arts program(s) at Grande Prairie Regional College. Humber nurtured Critical and Technical Development and supported and encouraged individual Personal Aesthetic Directions. ” Humber was the perfect institutional choice to start my creative journey, as is GPRC. With only one art course in High School, Humber College gave me the much need artistic foundation to pursue my education later at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax (1972-74). By the middle of my second year of study at Humber, I was confidently and independently under way. I am greatly indebted to my early instructors for giving me a solid understanding of design on which to build my career and a supportive environment. During my 31 years of teaching for The Fine Arts Department at GPRC, my goal has been to give my students similar skill sets, so they can move their dreams forward. A strong design foundation, discipline, tempered with thought, exploration and play are fundamental for all creative growth. Discipline gives one freedom, encourages personal strength, builds conviction and gives one the ability to confidently and passionately seek their own unique aesthetic. Ken HouseGO
